The mysteries of the brain and behavior will be the focus of Clark College’s Mental Health Monday presentation on Monday, May 14. The featured speaker will be local neuropsychology specialist Dr. Lawrence Moore. Neuropsychology is the specialty within clinical psychology that studies the structure and function of the brain as they relate to a person’s behavior. This interactive talk will present information about the role of a neuropsychologist, including how a neuropsychological assessment is conducted, and how the results of a neuropsychological assessment can be used by doctors, attorneys, and mental health professionals.

The presentation will be held from noon to 1 p.m. in the Penguin Student Lounge, located in Clark’s Penguin Union Building at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way. The event is free and open to the public. Directions and parking maps are available at www.clark.edu/maps. “Mental Health Mondays” are sponsored by the Clark College Counseling Center.
